Tang Xiaohong halted and spoke earnestly, “If you succeed in landing this endorsement deal, well be fine. If not, Bai Xue will undoubtedly use this as ammunition against us.”

She paused for a moment and continued with a smile, “As for me, it won’t end well either.”

Liu Yanyan inquired hesitantly, “So, Sister Tang, do you regret it?”

Tang Xiaohong smiled and replied calmly, “There’s no room for regrets. You’re more competent than she is, and as you mentioned earlier, if you don’t succeed, it just means the time isn’t right for the Chen Group to collaborate with us.”

Tang Xiaohong believed that Bai Xue’s abilities were far inferior, but the resources had been allocated to her.

Liu Yanyan felt somewhat excited as it seemed like an acknowledgment from the company.

She said sincerely, “Sister Tang, you can trust me. I’ll give it my all.”

Tang Xiaohong reassured her, “Don’t be too anxious; stay relaxed. Having the opportunity to go is a form of success in itself. By the way, your period drama is about to wrap up, right?”

Liu Yanyan furrowed her brow and replied, “Yes, it’ll be finished in about a week. If I don’t secure the Chen Group deal, I won’t have any work lined up.”

Tang Xiaohong fell silent for a moment and then suggested, “Director Huang has a project with an available female supporting role. Would you like to try for it?”

Liu Yanyan eagerly nodded, “Sure, I can play the third or fourth female lead, and it’s not just about earning money; it’s a great opportunity to enhance my acting skills.”

Tang Xiaohong was pleased and said, “Great, if the Chen Group deal doesn’t work out this time, 1’11 reach out to Director Huang for you.”

“Thank you so much, Sister Tang,” said Liu Yanyan.

She was touched by Tang Xiaohong’s support. In the entertainment industry, without connections and support, it was nearly impossible to succeed.

Tang Xiaohong smiled and said, “Work hard, I’ll do my best for you too. By the way, you have a shoot tonight, around six o’clock. It’s already quite late, so you better head to the set to avoid keeping everyone waiting.”

After saying their goodbyes, Liu Yanyan hurried to the film location.

The next morning, during breakfast, Jiang Ling’er mentioned the Chen Group endorsement opportunity to her grandfather.

Old Master Jiang appeared somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Chen Group was a major player in the industry, and their previous endorsers were usually A-list celebrities. Although Jiang Ling’er was undoubtedly talented, she was not yet on the same level.

He asked, “Ling’er, are you sure this isn’t a scam? How did you even get in touch with people from Chen Group?”

Jiang Ling’er’s face darkened. Her grandfather was clearly underestimating her.

She replied, “Whether it’s a scam or not, I’m not sure. But now that you know, will you support me?”

After some hesitation, her grandfather said, “I support you. Even if it doesn’t work out, this opportunity will make your future path much smoother.”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Great, I’ll give it a try.”

Old Master Jiang was briefly puzzled and then asked, “Ling’er, you haven’t told me how you got in touch with the people from Chen Group.”

She explained, “I was having lunch at the cafeteria with my friend Nuannuan when Chen Corporation’s CEO and his younger brother happened to share a table with us. It was only later, when the brother came to explain the situation to me, that I realized he and I had been schoolmates for some time.”

Old Master Jiang nodded and said, “If you succeed this time, be sure to bring the contract back. I’ll review it for you.”

She promised, “I will, Grandpa. There’s something else I want to discuss with you.”

Her grandfather appeared surprised and asked, “More matters that you can’t decide on your own?”

She nodded and then told him about her collaboration with Li Yu.

Old Master Jiang was astonished. Li Yu seemed harmless, but he was evidently quite formidable. Whatever he set his mind to, he achieved.

Old Master Jiang wondered when Jiang Ling’er had become so popular.

Jiang Ling’er asked, “Grandfather, what do you think about this? If it’s inappropriate, I can refuse.”

He waved his hand and said, “No need to refuse, Ling’er. This Li Yu is no ordinary person. Being associated with him won’t be a setback.”

She nodded. The original book didn’t provide much information about Li Yu, so she wasn’t sure what to expect. But she trusted her grandfather’s judgment.

After finishing her bowl of porridge, Jiang Ling’er said, “I’m full, Grandpa. You can take your time eating. I’m heading to school.”

After saying that, Jiang Ling’er picked up her bag and ran outside.

Old Master Jiang said, “Slow down. There’s no hurry.. There’s still time!”
